Plans Filed For 46-Story Tower In Australia

Brisbane-based developer Ferro Property Group is planning a 46-story residential tower on the corner of Old Burleigh Road and Armrick Avenue, a block away from the beach and directly opposite the heritage-listed Broadbeach Bowls Club in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, The Urban Developer reports. Despite the tall and slender design of the tower, the development application lodged with the Gold Coast City Council conceded it “will have shadow impacts for non-residential uses located nearby. These impacts are not substantial in nature or inconsistent with those which exist in the local area or which are anticipated within the city plan within the High-Density Residential Zone and unrestricted building height designation for the site,” it said. Designed by Ferro Chow Architecture, the proposal for the 159-m-tall tower includes 59 one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments with a third-level communal recreational area with a pool, deck and gym. Another Brisbane-based developer, Turrisi Properties, has plans for a smaller residential tower also on a site neighboring the Broadbeach Bowls Club. Its proposal is for a 22-story development at 9-11 Armrick Avenue.
